Movies you should see before you die - Page 3

I think you should first watch Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, then watch The Magnificent Seven. Then you can watch that lame episode of DS9 with seven Ferengi commandos.

The Goonies and The Sandlot are childhood classics. How have you not seen them?

Dazed and Confused -- I liked it.

The Big Labowski
Dumb and Dumber

slitz · 07-09-2008, 12:34 AM

Best comedy ever done:

The Pink Panther (1963 version)
The Return of the Pink Panther
The Pink Panther Strikes Again

And of course:

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

I think a better question is, "How the fuck does he not remember Superman 2?"

Kneel before Zod, bitch!

Seconding "Rear Window", it's just an amazing film.

To add a couple that haven't been listed:

Some Like It Hot
The Music Man or Victor Victoria (specifically for Robert Preston)

Quote:

The Goonies - Not seen it
Grapes of Wrath - Not seen it
One Flew over The Cuckoos Nest - Not seen it
Hoosiers - Not seen it

Goonies didn't age well but it is a fun little film. Admittedly, since I spent a great number of summers on the Oregon coast it works for me on a different level but I still recommend it. Just try and watch it through the eyes of a 10 year old.

Grapes of Wrath is worth seeing if only to see Henry Fonda.

One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest is just classic cinema. I'm not the biggest Nicholson fan but this role and the character actors that surround him are magical.

Hoosiers is probably my favorite sport films. I don't know why, I guess it has to do with it being a bit more understated than you would expect.

Gotta throw out another that I remembered.

"Wait Until Dark"
Wait Until Dark (1967)

Probably ranks in the top 5 movies I've ever seen. Potentially top 2. I'd have to see it again to decide.

Kreugen · 07-09-2008, 07:55 AM

Slightly obscure:
Primer (twice)
Equilibrium
Pan's Labyrinth (frickin loved the end)

And some that everyone has seen and you're weird if you haven't:
The Untouchables
Memento
Pitch Black
Saw 1&2

This chart helps with Primer (sort of)

What. You really said 300? Does "movies to see before you die" mean "good movies" or "any shitty movie that maybe is a little bit good"? After so much hype, that movie was awful. It was "ok" at best.

Yutnopash · 07-09-2008, 03:18 PM

City Lights
Modern Times
Usual Suspects
Braveheart
Love Actually
Life is Beautiful
Every Time We Say Goodbye
What Dreams May come
The Count of Monte Cristo
The Merchant of Venice - Al Pacino as Shylock = $
Romeo and Juliet - No not the Leo one. The one with Michael York as Tybalt

Those are just a few off the top of my head I concur with some of the ones people have said I just thought I'd toss these in to the mix.
